The 12th Annual Teaching Professor Conference will be held May 29-31 in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. This is a great national conference for any student thinking about a career as a college professor. Experience pre conference workshops that provide hands-on learning, plenary sessions keynoted by nationally-recognized education experts, carefully selected concurrent sessions on a range of relevant topics, poster presentations highlighting the latest research, and all sorts of occasions for informal interaction.

Ministry to the Marginalized is a one-day leadership conference that will engage the topic of ministry to the mentally ill and disabled in our congregations. Don’t miss this special opportunity to hear from Kay Warren and our fantastic workshop speakers as we explore together how the church can sensitively minister to those on the fringes of culture and reflect the kind of care Jesus gave.
